RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR PASSING A GROOMER
Approved by NHSA map and trails committee
1. FOR ONCOMING SLEDS: The sled should pull off the trail and allow the groomer to pass by.
2. OVERTAKING A GROOMER: The groomer operator should find a safe place to pull over and stop. The rider can then check to see if they can safely pass the groomer.
NOTE: The groomer operator will not signal a sled to pass.
REASON: Each rider must take responsibility for passing by the groomer safely.
